Etude House Proof 10 liquid eyeliner and DollyWink eyeliner

Sorry for the lag of updates, I was busy with assignments and life =P Here's a double liquid eyeliner reviews.
1) Etude House's Proof 10 liquid eyeliner

Whole Bottle

Close up (Front and back)


This is the brush of the eyeliner.

Price: RM 20++ (affordable for me as prices for foreign brands liquid liners is mostly more expensive than that)
Lasting: I've wore this for the whole day, it might wear off by the end of the day, so you might need to touch up during half of the day.
Pigmentation: This is very very black. *There's more pictures of it below.
Brush: Thin enough for me.Not so easy to control, but you'll get the hang of it sooner or later.
¸,¤°´'`°•.¸¸.•°´'`°¤,¸ ¸,
When it says there's 10 proofs, no kidding. Even though it will wear off by the end of the day but it's really smudge proof and waterproof, sweat proof and etc. =D

2) Dolly wink black liquid eyeliner


Dolly Wink's brush.

Price: RM54+ (at Sasa, it's expensive for me.)
Lasting: It's lasting ! I've wore it for an entire day and it wont even smudge ! 
Pigmentation: Good enough for me !
Brush: Very thin, easy to control. But if you accidentally drew wrong, you have to move very fast to rub it off with a cotton bud, cause this liner dried up fast !
¸,¤°´'`°•.¸¸.•°´'`°¤,¸ ¸,
I have to be honest with you, i didnt use Dolly Wink as much as my Etude House's liner, cause it's much more expensive for a budget buyer like me. I won't really wanna finish it up. But i've seen tons of reviews about it saying it's good so i reckon it's worth the price ?
To be honest, beside's the price of DollyWink's liquid liner i really didn't have any complaint about it.
________________________________________________
EYELINER ON MY HAND ! =D (LOL)
The left is Etude House's Proof 10 eyeliner and the right one is Dolly Wink's.
As you can see, Etude House's liner's brush is thicker than Dolly Wink's and harder to control.
Thicker brushes can easily create a dramatic look while thinner one can create a more natural look.

¸,¤°´'`°•.¸¸.•°´'`°¤,¸ ¸,
The picture below showed how the eyeliners react after I rub them with water very VERY hard. =)
I splashed them with water = no reaction.
I rub them lighty = no reaction.
I rub them HARD = a little reaction.

Left: Etude House's
Right: Dolly Wink
I dont think you would rub your eyes THAT hard to make the eyeliner smudge like that. Cause it'll be painful =P

*updated with new pictures. (My mum brought a new camera ! Finally !≧◡≦)

First ever cosplay photoshoot

(a❤‿❤a) My first ever photoshoot !!!!! KYAAA !!! 
Well, it took me a whole day of preparation before the shoot ~ I was trying to figure out how to use the BB cream my uncle borrowed me, cause it's fully mineral (extra safe), and only have one shade ~ Seriously too fair for me, but i used it in my photoshoot anyway,
[cause i need to return the BB cream to him later and that BB cream is very expensive        o(><"o) ].
I cut petals, brought a lolita mirror, cut out old floppy disks to get some CD-like plastic thingy inside them, cleaned and kinda styled my wig, painted my nails~ I was extremely busy that Saturday. and nervous cause it's my first shoot. xD
My mum and dad fetch me to the venue and my sis helped me to carry all the dry roses and stuff into the karaoke room ~We met up with the photog and started shooting right after i showed her what i brought to the shoot. Her comment:" Had never seen a cosplayer that passionate." HAHAHAH !!! she was shocked xD LOLX ! I asked her to take a few poses that i've seen on the internet and willing to try ~ and she's okay with it xD I mean, for a photog, they have their own styles, not much of them can easily accept requested poses~
Here's some of the outcome !!! =D



I know i know ~ (-'_'-) I'm not so good with this ~~ But i've tried my best !!!! D:
Oh ! Here's a few links of the my photog's pages and sites she joined.

25.09.2012

Dear blog,
Sorry for the lack of updates ~ I was really busy this month and especially this week ! My schedule was pack !!!! o(>_<)o 
This month i joined a play, my sister is the director of this play for the moon cake festival they're going to held it in my secondary school. She needs more actors/actresses so i volunteered to help her.
Besides just being an actress, i am also the make up artist and the one who teach them how to act. Sadly, none of them are daring enough to act naturally, so i have to tell them step by step on how to act. (=_=)
After the sound recording i need to dance Oppa gangnam style's chorus (solo) in the middle of the play. (~>_>)~
Back to the whole busy schedule thing.
Monday I have 6 hours of class and i went to practicing the play right after my classes. It's the first practice and the last. There's rehearsal in Wednesday.
During Tuesday, i have to finish the pile of homework i left undone since last week (cause last week i was busy too). Also, i have to revise Business Mathematic for the test next day.
Wednesday morning [today] i had the test, it goes well. After the test i rush back to my school right after lunch for the rehearsal. I waited for 2 hours for other performances to rehears .... AT LAST, it's our play's turn. Since we didnt bring the props and costumes, the play looked very very weird. The Domo doesn't bring her costume so she is standing on the stage as a girl in uniform ... so no one really knows why she is standing on the stage .... -sigh-
and i have no idea why i panicked on the stage and danced the wrong steps .... OMG .... I feel so embarrassed..... (>///<) Oh ! and I've brought new make up today when i was waiting for my mum in the mall. It's Meiko's cream concealer. I've seen tons of cosplayers using them so i am willing to try it until i see it lying around in the shop and i grabbed it !!!
Okay so now, move on to Thursday and Friday.
Thursday I have a replacement class for Organisational Behavior and i'll be staying in college for the whole day because it's an evening class and i still dont know how to drive well .... =(
Friday is the moon cake festival thing. So i have to prepare for the since morning cause .... I still haven't finish  making my costume (=w=). I know i am a last minute person, but being a bunny-guy-thing dont really need a complicated costume.
oh ! and i designed the character myself =) My character is a real big twist compared to the original legend story. I am suppose to be bunny, but it's boring for bunnies to have a cute and adorable image all the time so i transformed the bunny into a real funny character. It's a male bunny with ultra squeaky voice and LOVE to dance. He have a mustache and a pair of sunglasses. 8D
Cute huh ? My sister was like: "Sometimes, i wonder what is your brain made of...."
Why my sister said that ? Well, it's simply because she is a very serious person. =P
So my schedule ... Weekends.
Saturday i have work and i NEED to attend my family's reunion because it's the moon cake festival and at the same time i NEED to attend my best friend's housing warming party. I am still thinking how should i split myself into two .... =_="
Sunday ~ This is going to be interesting. I am going to have my very first cosplay photoshoot !!!! EKKK !!! So excited !!!!! <3 -will update you later with this-
 
This is what i've brought this month. My hauls =D
I've brought new false lashes <3 and i've felt in love with non-wavy and thick false lashes. They really are suitable for my type of eye. If i wear wavy ones, i will look evil ... =P
DOLLYWINK LASH CASE !!!!!
OMG ! i've always dreamt of owning dolly wink products and since i am a budget buyer, i dont really get a chance of winning my heart-and-brain's debates so most of the time, my brain wins and i didnt buy anything =P
BUUUUT this time~ it's different. I really want to own something that is dolly wink related. I could run to Daiso and buy a Rm5 lash case but ... i seriously dont know what have gotten into me ... I've brought this lash case in Sasa and it cost ... -gulps- RM22+ ..... I know, scary ....
Pore Putty's BB cream, i've been finding a BB cream that suits me cause Maybelline's 8-in-one BB cream doesn't really cover well from my point of view. So i try this because it's on promotion in Sasa when i was buying the lash case. Also, the promoter was very nice, she try really hard to communicate with me since i am not fluent in Malay and explain to me what that product is for and what that product is for even though there's 88% of chances i am not buying. =P So i brought both back home. =w=
Next, Meiko's concealer. Like i said, i've seen tons of cosplayers say it's a very good concealer so i brought it. It's quite cheap too. Will write a review when i have the time xD

Will update meh blog more often ~(=w=~)
Ciao !
Loves,
Grace Aiko ;)

Magazine and lens (゜o゜)

-Sigh- I know the opening of this post isn't good but the ending is good (=w=)
First i wanna complaint about this contact lens that i brought online <(`^´)>
SOrry that i didnt have a good picture of this =) my dad took the camera away =P So this is a pink lens. and apparently, after i put it into my eye it is sooooooooo UNcomfortable !!! I remember it's name, Kira Kira pink , 16.0mm ! It hurts my eye T^T but only one lens hurt my eye, the other one is perfectly fine ... Argh ! too bad i couldnt ask for a refund ... =( -sigh-
The good news is i brought a magazine with Doraemon on the cover (^。^) 
This issue is about 100 Doraemons in Hong Kong, there're also pictures of coplayers cosplaying characters in Doraemon in this mag. Their hair is made out of plastic cause normal wigs can't really look 100% like the character's hair ~ So all of them looked weird =_="
There's also a doraemon concept restaurant opened there !!! =D Oh, how i wish i could be there =w=
HYOUKA !!! This issue they give out free Hyouka postcard !!! <3 OMG !!!!
Peacing out ;)
